Under the pouring rain, Olivia stood in front of the grave for a long time. Her body was quite soaked by now. Unable to ignore it any longer, Ethan spoke up. "Let's go back. It's getting late."Olivia stood there silently, looking like she would disappear at any moment.Once again, she lost a family member. She looked even lonelier now, and Ethan's heart ached even more for her.Reaching out his arms, he wanted to hold her in his embrace. But Olivia looked calmly at him from under the black umbrella. Her gaze was so cold that it startled him."Don't be sad, Liv. You still have me."But she was sad exactly because she had him.When the mountain breeze blew past, Olivia's lone figure looked even more determined.Without another word, Olivia walked away. She had nothing to lose now.Ethan felt uneasy when he noticed Olivia's silence. He convinced himself that he needed more time to eventually heal the hurt in Olivia's heart.Seeing that Olivia had returned to her room once they w
Colin knew that Olivia already knew about his identity. Hence, he seemed a little guilty as he looked at her."Olivia.""Long time no see, Colin." Olivia greeted, easing the awkwardness.Lowering his head, Colin fiddled with his fingers. He looked down at his fingertips like a child who had done something wrong. "As you already know, I'm Leo.""Yes.""I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I—""I should've realized that earlier. When I was kidnapped, someone called the kidnappers. That someone was you, right?"That was how you could find me so easily, and you did everything you could to take me away."Colin knew that he had kept everything a secret, and he was no better than the people who hurt her."Olivia, it's my fault. I won't complain even if you blame me or hate me. But I never once wanted to harm you.""I know."If he wanted to kill her, she wouldn't still be alive today.But Olivia had experienced so much of being lied to and betrayed. She was no longer willi
Olivia planned to leave the island with Colin to save Jeff. She had something important to do before leaving. The car stopped by the beach, and Colin asked with confusion, "Olivia, what are you doing?""Nothing. Just ending things with someone," Olivia said as she closed the door. Colin felt uneasy as he watched her leave with determination. Olivia changed a lot after their reunion. She was uncharacteristically calm. Collin wondered if she was going to look for Leia. He couldn't allow her to do that. Leia was a lunatic. Olivia wouldn't be able to face her. "Olivia, please don't do anything stupid!" Colin tapped on the car window, but he didn't call out for Olivia to come back. Olivia knew that it was her only chance to kill Leia. After that, she would leave Aldenvine for good. She didn't plan to associate herself with Ethan any longer, even if she died from cancer or suffered any other consequences. Meanwhile, Ethan had just finished an important meeting. He massaged his b
Leia didn't think Olivia could discover her identity and even get Mr. Y to arrange this meeting. Leia's expression contorted as she said, "What's your relationship with Mr. Y?"The rage on Leia's face was evident. It was like Olivia had taken someone important from her. Olivia could guess that Leia had feelings for Avery. Smiling, she said, "Take a guess."The vague answer caused Leia's jealousy to flare up. "I knew you're a promiscuous bitch. You're not good enough for my brother. Since you're here, I might as well end you now."Leia was about to stand up and attack Olivia, but a sudden wave of dizziness came over her. She slumped back into her seat. "You spiked my drink?"Olivia slowly walked toward Leia, saying, "It's what I learned from you, Ms. Miller. I think it's time for us to settle the score."Olivia ordered the bodyguard to take Leia away. She had been waiting for this moment for too long. She felt like a fish out of water when her life was being manipulated. She
The icy voice brought Olivia back to her senses like a bucket of cold water. She looked toward Ethan with Leia's blood on her face. Ethan had never seen Olivia like this before. What shocked him more was that she already knew the truth. Olivia didn't evade Ethan's gaze. Smiling, she said, "You're just in time, Ethan.""You already knew, Liv?""Are you surprised? I was already carrying out my plan as you were thinking of ways to comfort me. I thought you were going to give me an explanation. I've caught the one responsible." Olivia looked at Ethan coldly. "Will you do it? Or do I have to do it myself?"There were five cuts on Leia's body. Her blood was dripping down into the ocean, and she looked very frail. "Liv, please calm down. We can talk about this.""Calm down?"Olivia smirked, saying, "You expect me to just calm down after all I've been through for the past two years? My family is in ruins because of you two. My dad is as good as dead. I almost died in her hands sev
Ethan looked at Leia, who was in his arms. She was heavily wounded, but she was smiling. She looked like a proud general that had won the war. "Ethan, I won." Leia fainted in his arms after she said that. Ethan was panicking. He knew he had lost Olivia forever. Avery didn't expect Olivia to be hurt.Colin's eyes became bloodshot as he said, "Olivia, your arm!""I'll be fine, Colin.""How could this be fine? You're going to be a doctor. This injury will cost you your career."Colin tended to her injury urgently while lamenting her fate. Colin became a doctor because Olivia inspired him to do so, but Olivia ended up like this. "A doctor …" Olivia lay on the bed and smiled weakly.Olivia did want to be a good doctor back then, but Ethan dashed her dreams and made her submit to a life as a housewife. And this time, he destroyed her hand. Her life was a mess because of him. She could still feel a piercing pain in her heart when she thought about Ethan. The pain would spread f
Olivia wasn't in a good state. She was already sick, and the gunshot wound made it worse. She developed a high fever in the night. The fever made Olivia delirious. She felt like she was floating on the sea.She muttered, "Mom, I'm so cold … Please don't leave me. Baby, don't leave. Bring me with you. Living is so painful. It hurts … It really hurts."Colin looked at Olivia with tears in his eyes. He felt so bitter. Olivia was only 21 years old, but she had gone through so many hardships."Olivia, I'll take good care of you. I swear."Olivia slept for a whole day before waking up. Her arm had already been bandaged. Her wrist was wrapped in white bandages, and she couldn't see how the injury looked. She could only feel the pain when she tried to move.She realized it wasn't a dream. Ethan had shot her. "You're awake, Olivia," Colin said excitedly. Olivia opened her eyes to look at him. "Where are we, Colin?""We're on international waters. We've left Aldenvine behind, Olivia.
Ethan's expression became stormy. He almost thought he heard wrong. "What did you say? A kidney transplant?""That's right. Ms. Fordham is planning to donate one of her kidneys to him. That's why she did so many medical examinations," the nurse said with a surprised expression. She continued, "Mr. Miller, our hospital is known for kidney transplants. It's hard to find a match, so the transplant should be done as soon …"Ethan ran out of the hospital before she finished. He finally understood why a stranger like Avery would help Olivia. It was because her kidney was a match for him. Although she could still live with one kidney, it would still adversely affect her health. She was so young. Ethan didn't want her to give up a kidney just like that. "Mrs. Miller isn't in Aldevine currently, Mr. Miller. Even Avery has gone missing. We aren't able to find either of them right now." "Mr. Miller, you have to rest. We'll inform you as soon as we get news of Mrs. Miller."Ethan used
